There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Suffolk to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for help should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
