There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Dahlonega to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, where 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 complete assessment 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 cause 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.
