There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in East Meadow to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues 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 deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help should find a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete 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 in the first place. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
