There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Brewster to get professional help for addiction so that they can 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 problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
