There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Greenup to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health issues that must be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
