There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Palmyra to receive 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 common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
