There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Ravenna to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health ailments that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help should find a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues 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 place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
