There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Walnut to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment program, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A thorough evaluation 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 cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
