There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Irvine to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that must be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
