There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Port Jefferson to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
