There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Columbia City 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 common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a 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 comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, 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.
