There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in San Juan Capistrano to get help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a safe detox 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 mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
