There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Plainview to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences 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 at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health conditions that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
