There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Derry to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
