There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Metairie to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
