There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Cleveland to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
