There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Arnold to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
