There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Greenwood 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 addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
