There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Norwalk to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help should find a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a 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 first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
