There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Garden City to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
