There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Pecos 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 healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. 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 fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and 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 assessment of both physical and mental 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 thorough recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
