There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Bay Shore to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
