There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Newport to receive help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
