There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Waco to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems 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 treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
