There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Crowley to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy 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 problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, and a safe detox 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 comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
