There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in London to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
