There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Marble Falls to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
