There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Ruston to receive treatment for addiction so that they can 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 problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often have other physical and psychological health conditions that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help should find a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
