There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Clifton to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
