There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you might think, and it is never too late for someone in Waterloo to receive professional help for addiction so that they can enjoy the remainder of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent substance abuse issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug abuse. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often struggle with other physical and psychological health issues that must be handled at the same time, it is important that any senior looking for addiction help look for a facility that provides treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver addiction therapy and general geriatric health care, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent on but needs to be weaned off of will be the very first step. A thorough assessment of both physical and mental conditions will be performed so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction in the first place. A complete treatment plan will be put into action that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
