There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Attalla to get treatment for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues 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 at the same time, a treacherous combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors often suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff trained to provide addiction therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
