There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Monterey to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable 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 at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
