There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Hamden to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
