There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Chambersburg to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health conditions that must be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
