There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Stroudsburg to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for help should find a rehab program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
