There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in San Luis Obispo to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically 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 prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment should find a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detoxification 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 comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
