There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Honesdale to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and 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 comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
