There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in La Center to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for help should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
