There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Vidalia to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for help should find a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
