There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Dekalb to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily 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 occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that must be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, where a safe detox 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 complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
