There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Park Ridge to receive help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that seniors often have other physical and mental health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation program, where a medically 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 very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A thorough treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
