There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Defiance to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
