There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Patchogue to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment should find a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
