There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Lenoir to get 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 prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health 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 comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
