There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Lakewood to get help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for help look for a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment 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 assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
