There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Decatur to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
