There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Canton to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
