There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Markleeville to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment 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 in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
