There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Naperville to get help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
