There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Lemitar to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
