There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Mount Pleasant to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
