There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Hamilton to get treatment for addiction so that they can live 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 alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, where a medically safe detoxification 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 assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
