There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Gilroy to receive help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental 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. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
