There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in LaCoste to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
