There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Edmonds to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for help should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
