There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Livingston to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
