There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Denison to receive treatment 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 substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for help should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, 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 complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
