There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Greenwood to get help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for help should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health 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 program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
