There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Moses Lake to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
