Waterloo, Iowa - Seniors/Older Adult Services
Seniors and older adults in Waterloo are susceptible, if not predisposed, to drug addiction just like any other individual. In fact, seniors and older adults are already using prescription medications which are also commonly abused. When combined with street drugs and alcohol, seniors and older adults are at risk of serious health effects including death. The negative stereotypes which are connected to alcohol and drug abuse may keep many seniors and older adult persons away from the drug and alcohol rehab facilities in Waterloo that will help resolve their problem. Due to this, there are drug and alcohol rehab facilities which specifically help this age range of addict. These drug rehabilitation facilities understand the needs which are particular to this age group, and how to address drug or alcohol addiction among seniors and older adults. Simply because seniors and older adult persons are more prone to sickness and accidents, it is imperative that they receive rehab before any illness or accident is brought on by their alcohol and drug abuse which may result in permanent if not fatal injury.
