There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Newton to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help should find a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
