Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - O Brien, TX.

Addiction treatment centers which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
