There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Fort Valley to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where 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 first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
