There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in La Crosse to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very 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 cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
