There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in El Cajon to get 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 healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help should find a rehab program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
