There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Independence to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
