There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Denham Springs to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
