There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Jenkintown 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 mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, and 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 first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
