There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Greenport to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
