There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Cicero 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 problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
