There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Lithia Springs to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that must be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
