There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Glen Cove to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
