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

There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Union City 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 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 at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the 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 often the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
