There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Ukiah to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking 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 substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
