There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Sacramento to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
