There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Austell to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
