There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Livingston to get treatment 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 addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
