There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Grass Valley to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be 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 to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
