There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Westfield to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, where a 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 comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
