There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Lebanon to get help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for help should find a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery 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 on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed 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.
