There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Plattsburgh to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
