There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Northport to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
