There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Queenstown to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often have other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
