There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Greer to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment center, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription 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 mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
