There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Aiken to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
