There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Lacombe to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
