There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Morristown to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
