There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Centralia to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health ailments 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.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health 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 thorough recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
