There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Langhorne to receive help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
