Addiction Treatment Programs for Seniors - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Falkville, AL.

There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Falkville to get professional help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and psychological health conditions that should be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help should find a program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.

Treatment centers which provide addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription 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 they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete recovery program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
