There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Delaware to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life 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, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
