There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Petaluma to receive help 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 prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
