There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Hillsboro to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health conditions that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, where a medically 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 evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
