Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - College Point, NY.

There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in College Point to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
