There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Bastrop to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a 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 first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
