Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Tulelake, CA.

There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Tulelake to get help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help should find a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Programs which provide 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 an inpatient treatment facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
