There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Huntsville to receive treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that seniors commonly struggle with other physical and mental health conditions that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential treatment facility, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental 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. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
