There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Walla Walla to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where 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 complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
