There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Vandergrift to get 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 issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often have other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
