There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Riverside to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help should find a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
