There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Gilmer to get help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for help should find a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
