There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Minden to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs 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 facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
