Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Washington, TX.

There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Washington to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled 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 target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
