There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Natrona Heights to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
