There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Saranac Lake to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help should find a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
