There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Rensselaer to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for help should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
