There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Cullman to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior searching for addiction help should find a rehab program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, where a safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. A thorough recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
