There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Waycross to receive 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 prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, where a medically safe detox 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 comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
