There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Batavia to get treatment for addiction so that they can 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 issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. 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 seniors commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
