There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Lincoln to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
