There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Lamar to get help for addiction so that they can happily live 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 cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
