Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Ardmore, AL.

There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Ardmore to receive treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally 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 prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be handled concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for help look for a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological health 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 thorough treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
