There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Chautauqua 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 physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
