There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Natchitoches to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems 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 dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
