There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Beaufort 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 healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often have other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
