There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Augusta to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
