There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Albany to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for help should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
