There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Greenville to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy 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 reality that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
