There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Darlington to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction 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 at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
