There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Wentzville to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
