There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Puyallup to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
