There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Ottawa to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences 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 deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
