There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Palos Heights to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a rehab program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
