There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Weatherford to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, and a medically safe detoxification 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 mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
