There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Beaumont to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that seniors often have other physical and psychological health conditions that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
