There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Kiamichi Christian Mission to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
