Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Dawson, TX.

There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Dawson to get 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 common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help should find a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.

Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause 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.
