There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Far Rockaway to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health conditions that must be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
