There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Dunkirk to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, 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 have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help look for a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
