There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you might think, and it is never too late for anyone in Waterloo to receive professional help for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives with a higher quality of life and be as physically and mentally healthy as possible. The most common substance abuse problems among seniors are alcoholism 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 combined with the fact that the elderly commonly have other physical and mental health ailments that must be addressed concurrently, it is important that any senior searching for addiction help look for a facility that provides treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Treatment centers which offer addiction treatment for seniors have staff qualified to deliver substance abuse therapy and general elderly health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more effective in an inpatient treatment program, and a medically safe detox from alcohol and any prescription medications that the person has become dependent to 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 they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are often the cause of the addiction in the first place. An effective treatment plan will be put into place that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
