There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Windsor to get help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any 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 health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
