There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Oregon City to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
