There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Lawrenceville to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that seniors often have other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for help look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very 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 often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
