There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Kennewick to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment should find a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
