There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in New Milford to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live 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 occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very 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 program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
