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

There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Lyerly 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 common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, 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 addiction help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
