There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Paradise to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse 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 at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
