There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Hempstead to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, 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 fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
