There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Ocean View to get 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 common addiction issues 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 deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
