There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Long Beach to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for help should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force 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.
