There are more seniors that struggle with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in North Platte to receive help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives and be as physically and mentally stable as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for treatment should find a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse treatment and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that they can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. An effective recovery plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
