There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Teaneck to receive treatment 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 substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to 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 concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for help should find a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential 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 first step. A comprehensive 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 commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
