There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Pompton Plains to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation 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 complete evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
