There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Needles to get professional help 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 prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help should find a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
