There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in San Pedro to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
