There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Fredericksburg to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for help look for a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
