There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Huntington to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
