There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Lexington to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for help look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
