There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Seneca Falls to get 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 issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
