There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Lombard to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help look for a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. An effective recovery plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
