There are more seniors that struggle with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Cedar Rapids to get help for addiction so that they can enjoy the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common addiction issues among seniors are alcohol abuse and prescription drug abuse. In many instances, both are an issue where seniors are addicted to both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health issues that must be handled concurrently, it is important that any senior looking for help should find a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient treatment center, 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 very first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and psychological conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be handled at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction in the first place. A comprehensive treatment program will be put into action that will target the specific and personal needs of the senior.
