There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Littlefield to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder 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 alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health issues that must be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation 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 very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
