There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Columbus 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 healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
