There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Lynn to get help 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 substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for help look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, 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 comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
