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

Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Substance abuse rehab centers that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at substance abuse treatment programs 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 impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

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