There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Augusta to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help look for a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
