There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Eugene to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
