There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Riverdale to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
