There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Pascagoula to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
