There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Etowah to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives 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 deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
