There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in West Orange to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological 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 in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
