There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Granite City to receive help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives 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, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
