There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Pullman to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
