There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Cadiz to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues 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 dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
