There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Jacksboro to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
