Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Millerton, NY.

There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Millerton to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
