There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Wenatchee to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism 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 dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
