There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in San Clemente to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
