There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Lakewood Village to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
