There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Ashland to get help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as 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 driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
