There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Washington to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health conditions that must be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
