There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Richardson to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health conditions that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
