Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Long Island, VA.

There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Long Island to get treatment 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, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
