There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Old Greenwich to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
