There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Columbia to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
