There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Mechanicsburg to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily 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 instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help look for a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
