There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Union City to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment center, and a medically safe detoxification 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 psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
