There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Lenox to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable 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 alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help should find a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
