There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Georgetown to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to 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 concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
