There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Putnam to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences 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 coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
