Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Watkinsville, GA.

There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Watkinsville to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable 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 at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
