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

There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Effie to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where 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 complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
