There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Temple to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that should be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help should find a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
