There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Santa Maria to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription 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 conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
