There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Broussard to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
