There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Anderson to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that must be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help look for a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
