Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Alfred Station, NY.

There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Alfred Station to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and mental health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for help look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
