There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Athens to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
