There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in New Kensington to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
