There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Bloomfield to receive professional help 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 common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often have other physical and mental health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for help should find a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
