There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Oak Harbor to get professional 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 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 simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often have other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
