There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Rock Tavern to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
