There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Riverhead to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
