There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in El Paso to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
