There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in La Grande to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for help should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted 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 complete recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
