There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Marietta to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors often have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
