There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Washington to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health conditions that must be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment 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. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
