There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Conyers 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 stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
