There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Joliet to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors often have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person 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 addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
