There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Rensselaer to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction problems 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 at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
