There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Lima to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
