There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Childress to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
