There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Providence to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
