There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in North Bergen to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
