There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Baldwin to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
