There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Elgin to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder 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 alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for help look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive recovery plan will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
