There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Chillicothe to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
