There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Scranton to receive 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 common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for help should find a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, 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 very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
