There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Newport to get help for addiction so that they can 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 addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for help look for a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, and a medically safe detox 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 comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
