There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Oneonta to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
