There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Canton to get 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 addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often have other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force 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.
