There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Ridgewood to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
