There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Albany to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
