There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Rockland to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
