There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Cherokee to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences 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 at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
