There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would think, and it is never too late for someone in Waterloo to get 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 prevalent addiction issues among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many instances, this is a dual issue where seniors are abusing both alcohol and prescription medications at the same time, a deadly combination. When coupled with the fact that seniors commonly suffer with other physical and mental health conditions that must be addressed concurrently, it is recommended that any senior looking for addiction help should find a rehab program that offers treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which provide substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff trained to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including psychiatric services. Recovery will be more successful in a residential rehabilitation facility, where a safe detox from alcohol and any medications that the person has become dependent on can be performed as the first step. A comprehensive evaluation of both physical and mental health conditions will be conducted so that any issues can be addressed at the same time, because these issues are commonly the driving force of the addiction to begin with. A thorough recovery program will be put into action that will address the specific and personal needs of the senior.
