There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Fort Stockton to receive help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological 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 in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
