There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Willoughby to receive treatment 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 healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
