There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Hitchcock to receive treatment 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 problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force 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.
