There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Windber to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for help should find a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
