There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Downingtown to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable 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 addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
