Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Barrow, AK.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse treatment centers that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
