Mental Health and Older Adults

Mental Health issues in older adults can often be swept under the rug or even ignored as, sadly, people oftentimes mistake the warning signs of behavioral health issues as part of aging. This is not always the case. Mental health issues in older adults are quite common, and with the right treatment program can be managed or even get better over time. 

With the older adult population expected to more than double by 2050, it is important to be aware of mental health disorders, substance abuse or drugs or alcohol problems in older adults.  

Why Choose an Intensive Outpatient Program for Older Adults

Senior adult intensive outpatient treatment can be beneficial to patients because older adults require outpatient services that understand their unique needs. Treatment is not one-size-fits all, and older adult services should not be either. Therapy sessions, treatment and other methods have to all take into account specialized needs of each population – and outpatient care at Canyon Ridge Hospital does just that. We listen to both you and your loved one and determine what treatment will work best for them for whatever issue they may be facing.
