There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Savannah to receive 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 occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
