There are more seniors that suffer with addiction than you would imagine, and it is never too late for anyone in Harlingen to receive treatment for addiction so that they can live the remainder of their lives and be as mentally and physically healthy as possible. The most prevalent addiction occurrences among seniors are alcoholism and prescription drug addiction. In many cases, this is a dual issue where seniors are addicted to both prescription medications and alcohol simultaneously, a dangerous combination. When combined with the fact that the elderly often have other physical and mental health issues that should be addressed at the same time, it is suggested that any senior searching for treatment look for a facility that includes treatment for dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders.
Programs which specialize in substance abuse treatment for seniors have staff prepared to deliver substance abuse therapy and general geriatric health services, including behavioral health services. Treatment will be more successful in an inpatient rehabilitation center, and a safe detoxification from alcohol and any medications that the senior has become dependent to can be performed as the first step. A thorough evaluation of both physical and mental conditions will be conducted so that they can be addressed concurrently, because these issues are commonly the cause of the addiction to begin with. A complete recovery program will be put into place that will target the specific and unique needs of the senior.
