There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Chula Vista to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment program, where a safe detox 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 comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
