Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Barataria, LA.

There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Barataria to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
