There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Lawrenceville to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder 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 prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often have other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for help look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological 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 place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
