There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Augusta to receive help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
