Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Long Island City, NY.

There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Long Island City to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.

Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
