There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Utica to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences 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 deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
