There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Mount Pleasant to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, 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 very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
