There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Rancho Santa Fe to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues 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 treacherous combination. When added to the reality that seniors often have other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
