There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Austin to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment should find a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
