There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Sunnyside 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 prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health conditions that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
