There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Oneida to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
