There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Forest Grove to receive help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often have other physical and psychological health conditions that must be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
