There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Texarkana to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
