There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Georgetown to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily 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 problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, 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 seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help should find a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
