There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in New Paltz to receive help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for help should find a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
