There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Ossining to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
