There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in North Charleston to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help should find a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, and a safe detoxification 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 health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
