There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Fresno to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
