There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Gretna to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological 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 to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
