There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Clairton to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detox 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 thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
