There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Laredo to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to 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 should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for help should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed 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. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
