There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Ridgeland to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder 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 addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often have other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
