There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in O Fallon to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to 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 they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
