There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Lewiston to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism 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 dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
