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

Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation centers that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
