There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Paris to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that seniors often have other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
