There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Farmingville to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health issues that must be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
