There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Chimacum to get 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 addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
