There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Laredo to receive help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health conditions that must be addressed at the same time, it is important 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 deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
