There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Ashland to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems 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 simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help should find a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, where a safe detoxification 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 thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
