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

There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Wakefield to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that seniors often have other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
