There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in New Port Richey to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily 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 abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
