There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Muscle Shoals to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that seniors often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be treated at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment should find a program that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient treatment program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A complete assessment of both physical and psychological 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 comprehensive recovery plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
