There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Hammonton to get treatment 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 alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment should find a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly 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 to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
