There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone 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 mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for help should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
