There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Van Nuys to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
