There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in St. Charles to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences 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 dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
