There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Brownsville to receive 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 issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help should find a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction 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 treatment center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted 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 recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
