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

There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Encinal to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for help should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive 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 driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
