There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Savannah to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, 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 mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
