There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Irving to get 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 occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
