There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Murrieta to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems 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 coupled with the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
