There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Northport to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment program, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
