There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Redwood City to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
