There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in San Andreas to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
