There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Pleasanton to get 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, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for help should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
