Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Hortense, GA.

There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Hortense to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete 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 commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
