There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Fairhope to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that seniors often have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential treatment facility, where a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
