Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Glennallen, AK.

Drug and alcohol rehab facilities which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these 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 verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out 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.
