There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Geneseo to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often have other physical and mental health ailments that should be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, and a safe detox 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 psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
