There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Prineville to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
