There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Middletown to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
