There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Buffalo Grove to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for help look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
