There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Wichita Falls to receive help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
