There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Glendale 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 alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
