There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in New Philadelphia to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for help should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
