There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Sylvania to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for help should find a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
