There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Canton to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues 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 at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A complete evaluation 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 cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
