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

There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Clayton to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, where a 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 first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
