There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Columbus to get help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for help should find a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
