There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Norwood Young America to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for help look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
