There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Pittsburg to receive professional help 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 occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
