There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Vashon to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest 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 alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment program, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
