There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Berkeley to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, and a 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 complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
