There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in San Ysidro to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
