There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Norcross to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
