There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Mexia 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 healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse 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 reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, 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 comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
