There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Camden to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation 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 very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
