There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Gonzales to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
