There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Scarborough to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
