There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Platteville to receive help for addiction so that they can happily live the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a deadly combination. When combined with the reality that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health ailments that must be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which offer substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health care, including psychiatric services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential treatment program, and a safe detoxification 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 comprehensive evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that they can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will address the specific and unique needs of the senior.
