There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Lamesa to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that must be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
