There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Folkston to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment should find a rehab program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
