There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Harriman to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior 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 any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
