There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in New Rochelle to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, where a medically 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 first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
