There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Carlsbad to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
