There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Bellingham to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
