There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Central Islip to get help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
