There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Dumas to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
