There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Owego to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
