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

There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Elko to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
