There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Willows to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a 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 psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
