There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Mamou to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological 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 complete treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
