There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Normandy Beach to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
