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

There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Gheens to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors often have other physical and psychological health issues that should be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.

Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
