There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in La Porte to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
