There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Carrollton to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy 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 addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, and 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 first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted 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 thorough recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
