There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Greenleaf to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
