There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Rolla to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
