There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Lonoke to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
