There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Winnetka to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health issues that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help look for a program that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment center, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
