There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Brady 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 substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient 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 very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
