There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Evanston to get help for addiction so that they can happily 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 abuse. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for help look for a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on 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 any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
