There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Washburn to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy 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 addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
