There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in John Day 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 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 prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
