There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Tucker to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
