There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Coudersport to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism 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 added to the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health issues that must be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for help should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any 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 conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
