There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in New Castle to get help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction issues 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 simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment should find a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
