There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Barberton to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
