Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Porter Corners, NY.

There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Porter Corners to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often have other physical and mental health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
