There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Waynesburg to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
