There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in La Plata to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that must be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help should find a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
