There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Portland to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help should find a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
