There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Elberton to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often have other physical and psychological health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, and a medically 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 very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
