There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Santa Teresa to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be handled concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for help should find a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
