Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - East Irvine, CA.

There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in East Irvine to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for help should find a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Programs which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
