There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in North Tonawanda to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that seniors often have other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
