There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Elmhurst to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often have other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
