There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Everett to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
