There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Tifton to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment look for a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
