There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in District Heights to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
