There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in North Adams to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription 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 psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
