There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Lexington to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
