There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Olympia to receive 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 addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that should be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment center, and a safe detox 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 evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
