There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Oneonta to get treatment 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 alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for help look for a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment 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 can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues 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 personal needs of the senior.
