There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Gold Beach to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
