There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Briarcliff Manor to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help should find a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
