There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Dalton to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
