There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Pennsauken to get help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues 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 simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
