There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in New Hyde Park to get help for addiction so that they can live 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, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior 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 conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
