There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Yorktown to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
