There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in San Gabriel to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detox 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 evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
