There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Truckee to get help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
