There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Malibu to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment should find a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
