There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Tulare to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for help should find a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person 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 they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
