There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in New Bedford to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
