There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Hazlehurst to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent 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 simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
