There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in La Mesa to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
