There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Snohomish to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
