There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Delta to get help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detoxification 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 mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
