There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Hilton Head Island to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
