Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Basile, LA.

There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Basile to get help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, and a medically safe detox 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 comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
