There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Pasadena to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
