There are more seniors that suffer 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 enjoy the rest of their lives 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 instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for help should find a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
