There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Paddock Lake to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
