There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Exton to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological 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 in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
