There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Fredonia 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 addiction occurrences 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 simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
