Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Goleta, CA.

There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Goleta to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
