There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Lockhart to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
