There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Massena to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live 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 issues 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 at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help should find a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment center, and a safe detox 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 evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
