There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Tacoma to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
