There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Greensboro to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and 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 complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
