There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Massillon to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
