There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in San Mateo to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detoxification 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 comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
