There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Columbus to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that must be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
