There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Thibodaux to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, 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 unique needs of the senior.
