You can get lateset version of drush from "https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/releases/". In there You can get out latest version number of drush from release page.

wget https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/releases/download/< Version goes here>/drush.phar

wget https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/releases/download/8.1.17/drush.phar
chmod +x drush.phar
sudo mv drush.phar /usr/local/bin/drush
drush --version

Your path settings are likely still pointing towards the outdated install as you now have two versions of drush installed.

Run "which drush" to see where its pointed and fix it to composer location.
