Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Guy, AR.

Drug and alcohol rehab facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs 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 generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
