There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Midland to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder 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 alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
