There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in St. Charles to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for help should find a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment center, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior 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 performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
