There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Yaphank to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often have other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
