There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Brentwood to receive help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment 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 to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
