There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Sausalito to receive 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 prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
