There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Pendleton to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed 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. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
