There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Lisbon to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism 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 deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that should be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
