Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - East Ellijay, GA.

There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in East Ellijay to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically 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 alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment center, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
