There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Woodland Hills to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and 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 thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
