There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Smyrna to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
