There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Columbia to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live 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 instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help should find 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 deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
