There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Bellaire to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
