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

There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Westwood to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled 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 place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
