There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Greensburg to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
