There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Downieville to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
