There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in La Place to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
