There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in La Salle to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live 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 occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help look for a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment program, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
