There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Northridge 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 healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that seniors often have other physical and mental health ailments that should be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for help should find a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/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 behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
