There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Seguin to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism 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 coupled with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
