There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Seneca to receive help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems 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 deadly combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
