There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Bessemer to get treatment for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a treacherous combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is suggested that any senior looking for addiction help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A comprehensive treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
