There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Libertyville to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health issues that must be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide substance abuse treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
