There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Los Alamitos to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
