There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Darlington to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy 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 alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
