There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Georgetown to get help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
