Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Port Sulphur, LA.

There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Port Sulphur to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
