There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Mountain View to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for help should find a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
