There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Reseda to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
