There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in London to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that must be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
