There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Escondido to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
