There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Agoura Hills to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that must be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
