There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Waynesboro to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often have other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
