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

There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Pooler to get help for addiction so that they can live the rest 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 instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
