There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Demorest to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems 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 seniors often have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, where 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 evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
