There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Newberg to get help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often have other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking 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 prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological 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. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
