There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Northampton to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
