There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Thousand Oaks to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily 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 occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
