There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in San Marcos to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences 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 dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and mental health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very 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 often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
