There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Lynnwood to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
