There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Arlington Heights to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for help should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation 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 comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
