There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Rehoboth to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
