There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Wilmington to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often have other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
