There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Westfield to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help should find a rehab program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
