There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Greenfield to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
