There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Mchenry to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they 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 target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
