There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Bloomington to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and mental health issues that should be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a safe detoxification 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 conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
