There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Forest Grove to get help 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 substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
