There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Heflin to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live 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 instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for treatment look for a program that offers treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff prepared to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, and a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and psychological health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
