There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Lexington 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 mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription 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 conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
