Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Mount Sinai, NY.

There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Mount Sinai to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often have other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
