There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Irvington to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
