There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Natoma to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, where a safe detox 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 complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
