There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Long Beach to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
