There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Ashland to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors often have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
