There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Toccoa to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a safe detoxification 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 comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
