There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Lincoln to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment should find a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
