There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Rosemead to get treatment 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 healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
