There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Corning to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol 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 important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force 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.
