There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Bethany Beach to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often have other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
