There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Old Bethpage to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
