There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Grenada to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest 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 alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
