There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Columbia to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
