There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Vicksburg to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for help look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
