There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Denton to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder 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 alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
