There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Bastrop to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
