There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Newcastle to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction 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 simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological 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 comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
