There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Hudson to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences 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 simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
