There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Schoharie to receive help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
