There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Arlington to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
