There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Kingston to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy 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 instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that must be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
