There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Federal Way to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often have other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
