There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Lake City to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detoxification 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 thorough assessment 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 to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
