There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Edgefield to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detox 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 thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause 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.
