There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Satsop to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health conditions that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
