There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Alton to receive treatment 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 alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for help should find a program that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a 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 complete evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
