There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Atlantic to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse 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 coupled with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
