There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Pelham to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
