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

There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Clarks 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 mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues 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 fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.

Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
