There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Paterson to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
