There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Flemington to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for help should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
