There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Marietta to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help should find a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, 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 target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
