There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Desoto to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a rehab program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a safe detox 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 psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
