There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Susanville 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 stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient 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 conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
