There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Huntsville to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol at the same time, a dangerous combination. When combined with the reality that seniors commonly have other physical and psychological health issues that must be addressed concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment should find a program that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general elderly health care, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation program, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to but needs to be weaned off of will be the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough treatment program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
