There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Lufkin to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
