There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Fort Payne to receive professional help for addiction so that they can live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life 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 cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the fact that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be treated at the same time, it is recommended that any senior searching for treatment look for a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in an inpatient treatment facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
