There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in East Chicago to get help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
