There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Lemmon to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
