There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Caldwell to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and mental health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, where a 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 first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
