There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Livermore to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for help should find a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
