There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in East Peoria to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A complete evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
