There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Ridgeland to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
