There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Santa Paula to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that must be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
