There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Shreveport to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
