There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Greensboro to get treatment 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 occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
