There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Friendswood to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help look for a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
