There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Valdosta to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
