Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Laurel, DE.

There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Laurel to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and 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 thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
