There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in New London to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that must be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
