There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Moncks Corner to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual 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 commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often 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.
