There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Baldwin to get help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
