There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Lake Worth to receive help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment should find a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
