There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Sac City to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help should find a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric 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 on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
