There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Lancaster to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
