There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Ventura to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
