There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Porterville to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
