There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Uvalde to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
