There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Hemet to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
