There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Ridgewood to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
