There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for anyone in Peoria to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and mental health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for help should find a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient rehabilitation program, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
