There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Odessa to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any 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 conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
