There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Waukegan to get professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy 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 alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that must be addressed at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
