There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Lebanon to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, where a 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 psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
