There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Newton Lower Falls 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 mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
