There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Medical Lake to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be addressed concurrently, 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 addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
