There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Peekskill to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment 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 to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
