There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Big Spring to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help should find a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
