There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in La Puente to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues 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 at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment program, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed 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 program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
