There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Gresham 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 healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that seniors often have other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment look for a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
