There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Bel Aire to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
