There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Mammoth Lakes to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
