There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Mount Vernon to get help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often have other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
