There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in South San Francisco to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted 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 complete treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
