There are more seniors that suffer with substance abuse than you would imagine, and it is never too late for someone in Waukon to get treatment for addiction so that they can happily live the rest of their lives and be as mentally and physically stable as possible. The most common substance abuse occurrences 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 at the same time, a treacherous combination. When added to the reality that the elderly commonly suffer with other physical and psychological health ailments that should be treated concurrently, it is suggested that any senior looking for treatment look for a facility that includes treatment for co-occurring disorders.
Rehab facilities which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff qualified to provide addiction treatment and general elderly health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation center, where a medically safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent on can be performed as the very first step. A comprehensive assessment of both physical and mental health conditions will be performed so that any issues can be handled concurrently, because these issues are often the cause 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.
