There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Elwood to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for help look for a rehab program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
