There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Redding to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent 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 deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors often have other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric 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 on can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
