There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Tuscaloosa to get help for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are abusing both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and mental health issues that should be handled at the same time, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help should find a facility that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction therapy and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation program, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment program will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
