There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Cerritos to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health 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. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
