There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Port Jervis to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for help should find a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
