There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Houma to receive treatment 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 common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for help should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
