There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Oak Park to get professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health ailments that should be addressed at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, and a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
