There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Lignum to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for help should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, and 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 first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
