There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Port Townsend to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for help should find a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, and 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 evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
