There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Carlinville to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment look for a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
