There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Freeport to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription 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 mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
