There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Fontana to receive professional 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 common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detoxification 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 assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
