There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Northbrook to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
