There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Ontario to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
