There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Swarthmore to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
